Story story! Igbokwe was a hardworking man, he had five wives, Adaku, Adaobi, Ifunanya, Ebube and Eberechi. They had many children and lived happily together. Igbokwe had two colleagues, Gift and Ekemini. They had their own wives, Ibinabo, Tambari, Idongesit, Aniete, etc. and children. One day their boss at the office said everyone should move in with Igbokwe and his family. They needed  to renovate the other part of the company's apartment.

Okay! This article was triggered by Tweets I saw a few days ago insisting  Rivers state peoople are Igbos/ Biafra ns . Recently, there was a protest by members of IPOB (Indigenous People Of Biafra) in Port Harcourt. This is not the first time this will be happening. Once again, like I said in my other post - I AM IJAW - http://tariahh.blogspot.com.ng/2016/06/i-am-ijaw_30.html I do not have any problem with the Igbos or IPOB, neither do I have a problem with where citizens decide to exercise their right to peaceful assembly and for whatever reason but I have a problem with people assuming/insisting that the people of Rivers state are Igbos/Biafrans.  A lady on Twitter asked “What’s Port Harcourt’s business with Biafra?” and a young man responded proudly “Fam! You don’t know Rivers state people are more or less Igbo and only changed their dialect and names after the war??? Maaaaaannnnn!” LOL.
